Request for help
Hello,
I am interested in the Mnemonic project and would like to contribute, but I
have not completely understood the goal of the project.
Can someone please explain this project and let me know how I can
participate in the development?
Best Regards

Hi Mahdi,
Welcome and I think most of your understanding are correct, but there
are two points I'd like to make it more clear for your understanding
about the current status of this project from my point of view.
1) Mnemonic has been designed to remove cache layer instead of
enhancing it.
2) Under non-volatile mode, Mnemonic directly operates on
non-volatile memory, but the volatile fields of objects never save back
to storage.
In addition, please let us know if there some compiling issues so we can
help as well as improve the documentation, Thanks.
B.R,
+Gary.

Thanks.
Here is my understanding:
- Big data applications read input from storage (HDD/SSD/Flash) into RAM,
do their processing and serialize data back into the storage (most of the
time).
- Mnemonic is a middleware (or caching layer) between Big data applications
and their input data.
- When using Mnemonic, applications will just work with their data while
they are still on the storage (as much as possible).
- Mnemonic will automatically move data from storage to RAM when needed and
save them back to the storage, but the whole process is transparent from
the application.
Is this correct?
P.S. Still struggling with compiling some dependencies of Mnemonic.
Best Regards

Hi, Mahdi
We have a set of slides that gives an overview if the project.
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/MnemonicProposal?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=Apache_Mnemonic_Incubating_white_Pub2.0.pdf
the first thing to do probably is download the code, compile, and try those examples from the package. Let us know once you start looking into code.
Thanks,
Yanping
